PwC has achieved strong operational decarbonisation (71% Scope 1+2 reduction, 95% renewable electricity) with SBTi-validated targets, but supply chain coverage remains weak: only 10% of suppliers have science-based targets and purchased goods/services Scope 3 trajectory is unquantified. Nature and waste data are absent from public reporting.
